I think you'll need to recompile your kernel, and tweak the settings for
the NCR53C8XX driver. IIRC the default settings make some assumptions
about Symbios compatibility and reading in the PROM (which seems to be
hurting you).
I've also noticed that the stock Debian kernel can be hell with some
SCSI cards which don't appreciate all the other drivers probing around
the system, so that's another good reason to recompile.
